About

Hi, I’m Shawn. I did my undergraduate studies at University of California, San Diego in Human Biology. While there I interned at a biomedical device incubator, where I eventually went on to work full time after graduating. There my love of designing, tinkering and 3D printing blossomed. While I think engineering is great I was getting a little too carried away. I joined the Master of Biotechnology program at University of California, Irvine, to get back to my roots. My previous research focused on development of devices aimed at mitigation of reperfusion injury resulting from myocardial infarction as well as devices aimed at treating chronic no-option cardiac patients. 

I have recently completed my Masters in Biotechnology in the Lane Lab and have extended my stay, currently working as the lab manager. 

In my free time I love playing soccer, basketball and volleyball, as well as playing videogames and 3D printing!
